I’ve always read a lot of books at one time. It sounds sort of stupid, but I’ve done it for the last forty years most probably. I leave them in every room and when I am in that room, that is the book I read.

A shortened list:

After Thermopylae, Paul Cartledge
Sulla the Fortunate, Baker
The Storm before the The Storm; The Beginning of the End of the Roman Republic, Duncan
Christianity and the Crisis of Cultures, Ratzinger
The Russian Revolution, Richard Pipes
With the Old Breed E. B. Sledge
God’s Wolf {Raynald de Chatillon}, Jeffery Lee
Texas Rising, Stephen L. Moore.
Empire and Nation, Forrest McDonald
The Second World Wars, VDH

And another dozen or so others.

Getting ready to order Larry’s new Reagan Biography due out the week of the fourth of July — Go LS

” With the Old Breed E. B. Sledge”

I’ll second that. The surprise is that he wrote it for his children, not for publication, but because they were curious to know what he had experienced in WWII. And now everyone who watched “The Pacific” knows.

” Empire and Nation, Forrest McDonald”

The great Forrest McDonald. Best conservative historian that there has ever been.

Sorry, I thought I told everyone:

Milo Yiannopoulous’s “Dangerous Books” (as well as the rest of his media empire) went bust when his second financial backer in six months pulled out. Actually, this one died of an OD.

The rights to Reagan reverted to me, and Post Hill Books has picked up the Reagan biography (the good news) but it won’t be out til NEXT Father’s Day (the bad news).

I hope the alliance with Post Hill is a great one. I had high hopes for Milo’s marketing ability. If you did a pre-order on Amazon you can get your money back.
